That’s the typical [direction], but it’s not that at all, it’s not even close” Sossamon said when she heard what was going to occur, she thought “‘Oh my god, that’s interesting!’ It’s actually weirder. It’s different. It’s darker. It’s darker, but in a subtle way, as opposed to playing it like I’m really coming back and pissed.”

Yay! Thanks for opening this thread

Melanie95

Thanks for this thread! We really needed one!

NikNak

Thanks for starting this thread here. Hope ya'll enjoy!

Melissa Ann

Now all we need are some spoiler's!

Here are some episode descriptions:

I can't wait for this episode. I want to see the Mick/Beth 'intimate moment'!

Please note that these are spoilers and because they are spoilers they may be subject to change.

Thanks for the updates!

WOW, thanks for starting thread. Here are my spoilers...I was able to read the sides for some future episodes:

Episode 6:
It deals a lot with Beth/Mick relationship.

Josh is in the episode, and is very jealous of all the time Mick/Beth spend together...It also seems like Beth/Josh's relationship is very rocky...not sure if they are even still together...


Episode 8:
It's basically about a young woman dealing with a similar situation that had happened to Beth in the past. Beth was kidnapped by Coraline when she was little...and so was this girl. Her name is Audrey, and her life is in danger.

So Beth/Mick help her out any way they can. During the episode, Beth deals with her own past. It is actually Beth who comes to Mick to ask him for help with the case since it seems that the police are not willing to help.

Melissa Ann

Thanks for the spoilers jules! I love that the episodes focus a lot on Mick and Beth as a whole rather then separate. If that makes sense!

jules166

UPDATE: Episode Nine...



Episode Nine deals mostly with Mick/Morgan investigating...

There is a scene between Beth/Josef...She wants Josef to help her investigate Morgan...

Some more scenes of Mick/Morgan following Tina/other characters...they're investigating a case together.

Melissa Ann

Thanks for the update. I can't wait to see more Moonlight. The episodes sound so good!

cherrios

I hope we get more of Josef and his friendship with Mick. I love looking at characters who have been alive for so long and you see the kind of experiences they have lived.

Melissa Ann

I agree cherrios. Mick has only been a Vampyre for 30 years I think, while Josef is like 400 years old. So it would be really cool to see some flashback's in episode's around Josef.

NikNak

I saw this show for the first time tonight. Definitely a bit different than I originally thought. Not sure I'll continue to watch, though... I'll have to see.
